Should my broadband be working?

Ok so my net isn't working at all atm yet my foxtel is working fine, on the service status page I can see there is an outage for broadband and foxtel in my area (2759) so I figured well if the foxtel is working shouldn't the broadband be? I just assumed that the outage would affect both the foxtel and broadband, I did a reset on the broadband yesterday, is there a way I can try to see if the net is working? My laptop broke Sunday so I've only got an iPad, iPhone or ps3 to use on the net
